Biography:
Like many before him, Colin Meloy (The Decemberists) was a frustrated college student before he was an acclaimed songwriter. While majoring in English, with an emphasis on creative writing at the University of Montana, he also played in an alternative-countryish band called Tarkio from 1996 - 1999. Members included Colin Meloy, Gibson Hartwell, Louis Stein, and Brian Collins. In 2006, Kill Rock Stars released a 2-cd discography of Tarkio's material entitled "Omnibus".

(strumming: d=down, u=up)
* for the C ^ just do a normal C chord, and use your pinky to hit the B string on the third fret.
Verse 1:
G D G D
Joshua smiled, said listen to reason,
G D Em C G (leads into intro)
Don't blame me when the walls come tumbling down.
G D G D
So I was adrift on the sea of longing,
G D Em C G (leads into intro)
awaiting the trumpets to raise your ivory gown.
Chorus:
Em C C D G
And if on-ly time will tell,
C
Then I can't stand waiting
C Em
While the lights are changing on me.
C C D G
Tell it to my own free will.
Bm Em
If I lost this thorn from my side,
D
I think I'd die.
(repeat intro)
Verse 2: (same as Verse 1 in terms of chords)
Albert Camus said, "living is anguish,
but don't dare let those bastards bring you down."
And if this is so, then I see no reason
for spending the evening doing anything but going downtown.
Chorus:
Em C C D G
And if on-ly time will tell,
C
Then I can't stand waiting
C Em
While the lights are changing on me.
C C D G
Tell it to my own free will.
Bm Em
If I lost this thorn from my side,
D
I'd probably I'd die,
D
Most likely die,
D
I think I'd die.
(repeat intro and end on G)
Enjoy! =)
